PART OF THE ‘BESHT’ NATIONAL IDENTITY
Besht, also known as Bisht, is actually a garment usually worn by Qatari men and symbolizes Arab culture.

‘Besht’, which is produced in full length in the form of a tunic, is used in costumes or as an addition to a different special ensemble. In Qatar, which sticks to its traditions and customs, besht sees it as part of the national identity. Besht is the most luxurious fabric for the Arabs and they wear it only for a very noisy celebration. If someone disguises you, you have all the honor of it. It was a sign of honor to dress Messi in this outfit worn by ministers and important figures on national occasions. ‘Besht’ or ‘Bisht’, a prestigious formal attire that sets it apart from others, was worn by high-ranking people at the Lusail Stadium, as the last day is also Qatar National Day.
REACTION ON SOCIAL NETWORKS
The same outfit was worn by Sheikh Tamim bin Hamed Al Sani, Emir of Qatar, who attended the ceremony with Infantino. Because having Besht means power, Argentina’s captain and leader Messi donned this outfit, leaving behind an unprecedented moment in World Cup history.
Turkish users were not indifferent to the outfit that millions of people talked about on social networks.

Here are some comments on social media…
They dressed Messi in local clothing over the national shirt, trophy photos that will go down in history. If Fatih were my teacher, he wouldn’t allow it.

Instead of the national jersey, Messi is lifting the trophy in his weird Qatari thing. Fuck football like that. Qatar bought everything with money. Misfortune. Shame. Rudeness. Disrespect.

In the most iconic moment in football history, they made Messi wear circumcision clothes, I’d be surprised https://t.co/7KSDzaDjph

Foreign clothing cannot be worn over a country’s jersey.#Messi It is the first time he has lifted the World Cup at the age of 35 in his life.
Not that,
“There is money, there is no door that I cannot open.”
This must be what is called…

Messi will lift the trophy in his number 10 shirt in perhaps the most special moment of his life, the outfit you wear is disrespectful, unacceptable.

The most beautiful final in history was played, Messi made history; an Arab sheikh comes out first, does not shake hands with the referee and then dresses him in a more than ugly outfit for the moment of lifting the trophy that will be remembered forever.
REPUBLIC FOREVER!!!
